Kolijn
Eveline Kolijn is a printmaker and installation artist whose work bridges art and science to explore the beauty, complexity, and vulnerability of marine ecosystems. Having grown up in the Caribbean, Kolijn witnessed both the richness of coral reefs and their decline, experiences that continue to shape her artistic practice and environmental perspective.
Her relationship with coral reef awareness is rooted in a lifelong fascination with ocean life and scientific collaboration. Working alongside marine biologists, virologists, and environmental researchers, Kolijn creates artworks that translate scientific concepts into immersive visual experiences. Her installations often draw inspiration from marine organisms, plankton, algae, and coral ecosystems, highlighting the delicate balance that sustains life beneath the ocean’s surface.
In works such as The Ocean Veil, Kolijn combines artistic techniques with scientific imagery and materials to evoke the interconnectedness of marine life and the sensitivity of ocean environments to change. Through these interdisciplinary projects, she encourages audiences to reflect on the fragility of coral reefs and the broader impacts of environmental degradation. By merging scientific knowledge with artistic expression, Kolijn fosters greater appreciation for marine biodiversity and the importance of ocean conservation.
